Fury as Vodafone's Whitley phone mast gets green light
Mar 13 2009 by Les Reid, Coventry Telegraph
MOBILE phone giant Vodafone has won planning permission to keep a 30m high mast in Coventry’s green belt, despite objections from 500 residents.
Cheylesmore families fear children using a path to get to and from school could be exposed to radiation from the mast at Jaguar’s Whitley site.
The path was recently moved nearer to the mast as part of preparations for a business park at the site.
The mast received temporary planning permission for three years in 2005. Vodafone was yesterday back at the city council’s planning committee seeking consent for a further three years.
